- Grayscale’s Q4 list features six new cryptocurrencies, including Sui and Optimism, emphasizing strong infrastructure and performance.
- Some assets dropped from the list, while BTC remains strong, currently trading above $65,000 with a positive weekly surge.
Grayscale Research has unveiled a list of 20 digital assets with significant potential for the fourth quarter of the year. In developing this list, Grayscale considered key factors such as potential catalysts, network adoption, and associated risk factors. Notably, six new cryptocurrencies have been added to the list: Sui (SUI), Optimism (OP), Helium (HNT), Bittensor (TAO), UMA Protocol (UMA), and Celo (CELO).
Recently, CNF reported a significant 50% surge in SUI’s price over just seven days, largely attributed to Grayscale’s SUI Trust and rising institutional interest. In line with this momentum, Grayscale Research released a tweet outlining its Top 20 digital assets for Q4, which they believe hold strong potential due to key catalysts, market trends, and token-specific fundamentals—SUI being a prime example of this upward trend.
Grayscale Research announced its Top 20 list featuring assets that, in our view, have high potential* for Q4 based on upcoming catalysts, trending market themes, and token-specific fundamentals.

Highlighted New Additions
Sui and Optimism stand out for their high-performance infrastructure. Grayscale pointed out that Sui, a third-generation blockchain, has outpaced Solana in transaction speed, while Optimism is notable for its “Superchain” network, which shares a common open-source tech stack.
Other promising assets include UMA, which may benefit from prediction markets like Polymarket, and Celo, poised to rise with stablecoin adoption. Helium’s IoT-focused network was highlighted for its revenue generation, while Bittensoris viewed as an AI play, merging blockchain and artificial intelligence for decentralized solutions.
Assets Dropping from the List and BTC Price
Some digital assets, such as ThorChain (RUNE) and Raydium (RAY), have fallen out of Grayscale’s top 20 for this quarter as the asset manager adjusts its outlook for Q4.
Building on recent CNF coverage of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust’s record-breaking 72-day outflow, discussions have emerged about whether BTC’s price could drop below $60,000. However, current data from CoinMarketCap shows BTC trading at $65,563.75, reflecting a 1.86% rise in the last day and a 3.36% gain over the past week, suggesting continued resilience in the market.
